Heilige Dominicus 1576 - 1628

"Heilige Dominicus" is an engraving by Jan (II) Collaert depicting Saint Dominic, the founder of the Dominican Order, holding a book and a flag with the Virgin Mary, while standing over a snake and a dog, symbolizing the overcoming of evil. Created between 1576 and 1628, the print is a detailed and dramatic representation of the saint, often associated with the Rosary and the fight against heresy. This artwork is a valuable historical document illustrating the religious context of the 16th and 17th centuries.
